According to the police report, Mitchell Young arrived home at 4 a.m. that December morning to find his father drunk and his mother beaten.

The report says Mitchell used duct tape, speaker wire and rope to tie his father’s hands and ankles together after he fell asleep on the couch. When he went to check on his mother he heard his father trying to get up while still tied up. Mitchell then beat Todd in the face and head and kicked him several times.

Jennifer Young had a swollen face and back injuries, according to the report.

She declined medical treatment and declined to press charges against her husband, according to the report.

Mitchell called police. When officers arrived at the home, Jennifer told them she had been hit before and the last time Mitchell said, "The next time he does this, I’ll kill him," according to the police report.

According to the report, the couple split and moved out of the Westland home this past year.

A picture attached to the report shows Todd Young after he was arrested.
